Mother's Day
May 11th 2010 13:02
The day before yesterday my brother-in-law and I invited our mother-in-law for a lunch at a French restaurant nearby. It was Mother's Day.
I sometimes use this restaurant, in particular when my important visitor came to my house. For example, that's the case that I hold a welcome party or a farewell party and so on.
Both a chef and his wife, who are the owner of this restaurant, are very kind.
We made friends for several years because I sometimes have used it. Oh, I think maybe there was another one more reason. His wife has an ocarina and had practiced to play it before. When I go there, I always bring my ocarina and play some pieces of music after meals. The staffs and some visitors in it are pleased with my ocarina performance.
I remembered that there was such a thing one year ago or something.
I had a lunch with my friend. After our lunch, we were talking for a while.
She came to our table and said to me,
"Didn't you bring your ocarina today?"
I said,
"Sure, I have it in my bag. Would you mind, if I play the ocarina from now on?"
"No, not at all. Please play it"
I was very pleased that she asked me about my ocarina.

Oh, I think maybe there is one other reason.
His wife has an ocarina and has practiced playing it before.
The staff and some visitors in it are pleased with my ocarina performance.
I remembered that there was such an event about a year ago or something.
I had a lunch with my friend.
She (Who's "she"? The wife? A customer? Your friend?) came to our table and said to me,
"and so on" and "or something" are very informal and are usually only used in speech. In writing "etc." (which stands for "et cetera") is more often used.
When using pronouns (such as "she"), make sure it is obvious who you are referring to. For example in your sentence, "She came to our table..." it is very ambiguous who you are referring to. It almost sounds like you're talking about your friend. Before you use a pronoun, make sure whoever/whatever you are referring to is mentioned in the previous sentence or two.
Your ocarina playing must sound beautiful. They're lucky to have you come to the restaurant often : )
Both the chef and his wife, who are the owners of this restaurant, are very kind.
Good stuff!
Thanks a lot for your correction and kindly comments.
They are very useful for me to improve my English.

添削してくれてありがとう～♪
ここのレストランは、一番好きです。
でも、お金も掛かります・・・・・ね＾＾；
Would you mind if I play the ocarina from now on?"
You bring your ocarina wherever you go? It's become part of you, just like the sword that a swordman carries, right?
Thanks a lot.
Ｔｈｉｓ French restaurant isn't one which you saw in the uploaded clip.
>It's become part of you, just like the sword that a swordman carries, right?
Yes, that's right.
My ocarina has been to Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii with me for about one year.
It's already part of me.
